  • The eye irritation as mentioned above. I use to have days that I don't use any screens after work. Also, I canceled my phone internet, now I have nothing to do on my phone, so I don't stare at it when I am traveling. I am planning to buy blue light blocking glasses.
  • Even if I am almost daily at the gym, I managed to gain 10 kilograms. But I connect it with more than just a lot of sitting. I have a better food schedule, then in times when I was in university, so I also gained muscles alongside fat. But I have to care more about what I eat. I started a diet and I am calculating my calorie intake and it works.
  • No neck or back pain, it cames up only if I miss the gym more than 3 weeks in a row, so my advice for people with back pain, do your deadlifts.
  • At the beginning of a full-time job I had wrist pain, but I stopped using the mac touchpad as a primary pointer device and I bought a heavier and larger mouse.
